As far as Porsche is concerned, I think maybe he has good connection to Porsche, so like any smart Porsche dealer he buys rare cars (like 911R), drives them for a bit, then sells them for a premium.
His 911R was written off in an accident, but don't let that get in the way of a good moan. wink

Who cares how he does or doesn’t - in fact who cares about anybody else (unless a family member who is bnaive and might be getting burnt/taken on too much but even then they are adults they know what it should or shouldn’t be.

It was a GT3 touring that was written off

Not that it matters, but it would appear his BBC income is less than £150k pa, assuming this well publicised list is still roughly accurate. Of course he has other income streams, the details of which are not in the public domain.

MLB isn’t on the list as he’s paid by BBC Worldwide so doesn’t have to be disclosed. He supposedly pockets £1M a season for TG.

I see him sometime just around the corner from me in Victoria Square Clifton, Bristol. I assume he lives around there so must have pretty deep pockets regardless what he spends on cars

In an old-ish podcast with Joe Rogan I saw recently he talked about the GT3 4.0 and from memory he kind of couldn't really afford it but wanted to tick the box.

Top Gear presenters fall under BBC Worldwide and BBC Studios, and they'd be on more than 150k per annum for sure.

Back in 2003-2006, Hammond and May were getting 15k per episode of Top Gear... and it's a much bigger show now.

Fair play to them all and I look forward to seeing what Chris buys with his own money going forwards. His car ownership is fascinating in its own right

Here here.

Also I’m finding he is evolving his presenting style - for the better good on you Monkey

What does it matter how Harris pays for his cars, or how much he earns for that matter?

I actually saw a bloke write 'mine' as 'my'n' once, couldn't get my head around it. Genuine too.

It’s all those champagne socialists - I don’t want to pay anymore tax but they can they must have lots of money don’t deserve it etc.

Envy is at fault here.
